The British series Ghosts instantly became a gem in the realm of supernatural comedies since it premiered on BBC in 2019, and while Ghosts was once on HBO Max, there are several avenues U.S. viewers can take to watch the series. Crafted by the creative minds behind Horrible Histories and Yonderland, the show weaves together the unlikely cohabitation of a living couple with a motley crew of deceased residents from various centuries, all confined within the walls of a dilapidated country estate. The originality of its humor, coupled with a distinctly British charm, quickly garnered Ghosts a dedicated fan base.
The success of the British sitcom Ghosts didn't just resonate with UK audiences; it sparked enough interest to lead to an American remake, adapting Ghosts for a US audience with a similar premise but localized quirks and cultural touches. Despite this transatlantic leap, many fans of the genre remain devoted to the original series, preferring its quintessential British wit and the chemistry among its original cast. This preference has led to a notable demand for the series on streaming platforms, but while Ghosts was on HBO Max, the series is now much harder to find.
